Advisement for the major is available from the Computer Science Department.
Computer Science, B.S. Computer Network and Cyber Security Focus Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
The computer network and cyber security focus studies the theoretical foundations and principles of the design and performance of modern computer network. It investigates the challenges of network security, security risks and countermeasures. It also covers the mathematical principles of classical and modern methods of cryptography, and practice of network security. Within this focus, students are required to take three elective courses that focus on computer network and cyber security theme.
Regardless of focus, in the first two years, all computer science majors are required to take a major core comprised of four math courses and eight computer science courses. Starting from junior year, students can choose a specific focus and take three required elective courses within the focus. Also, all computer science students are required to take three more electives of their own choices.
General Major Requirements
- All required mathematics and computer science courses and all Upper-Level Electives must be completed with grades of C or better (or pass if they are offered only on a P/F basis).
- No course may be taken until all prerequisite courses have been completed with grades of C or better.
- Transfer students majoring in computer science are required to complete at least 12 hours of upper-level computer science courses with grades of C or better at Salisbury University (excluding those taken P/F).
- Students may not receive credit for computer science courses that are prerequisites for or equivalent to computer science courses for which they have already received native or transfer credit.
- Computer science courses taken before declaring the computer science major should be evaluated by an advisor before proceeding with course selection.
Checklist
This checklist is an unofficial tool for planning. Matriculated students and advisors should consult the Academic Requirements Report in GullNet before and after registering for classes each semester to track academic progress.
